Two words: IT’S HERE! This year’s global advertiser summit is full of *can’t miss* product announcements from top execs… and a few more familiar faces to help us tell our story. 👀 Hear why there’s never been a better time to partner with Pinterest 👉 bit.ly/3rbb83O

@Myles_Younger If it gets lower, people get suspicious, if higher people think its too expensive.. price control the market to keep the game running.

Me reading the ANA report and seeing that 50% of all open web impressions are $3 and under. I swear, it will be the year 5000 and $3.00 will STILL be the going price for a thousand shitty ad impressions.

1/3 The @ANAmarketers supply study is epic analysing $123m of spend & 35bn impressions. The headlines are eye watering: 1⃣Campaigns ran across 44K websites on average. 2⃣MFA sites accounted for 15% of ad spend. 3⃣Prioritising cost over value is harmful. ana.net/miccontent/sho…

Today we’re hosting ads leaders for an inside look at the possibilities on Pinterest. Follow along for a sneak peek at our #Pinvision event in Shoreditch. 🧵👇

@Will_Humphrey 😬 good luck to everyone involved. All 400 of them.

@V_Kurbatov Your concepts are so good. Watering the plant reminder is a great idea.

In this exploration, I used the gaze on Quest Pro to contextualize #MR interactions. I wanted to test all of them in the same setting, so choosing the unique approach for each interactable was challenging. Luckily Interaction SDK has many great samples (gestures, poses, poke...)

Pinterest $PINS has always felt like a missed opportunity related to advertising, given the purchase intent inherent in the product's core use case. Last June, an exec from Google Commerce was appointed CEO, and the company appears to be overhauling its ads platform (1/X)

I can really relate to this @McDonalds #BigMac

@Myles_Younger ...could be for the new playstation? 😂

@SimonJHarris Common to use exclusion only rather than inclusion. Leads to delivery on excessive long tail. Common of 30k+ domains, another recently of 250k+, UK geo.

@angusmclean Same in fairness, I can only speak for the large clients I've worked on & they've all used allow lists for 5+ years. eBiquity works with some of the biggest clients in the world, why are they still allowing this approach?

There is soooo much dodgy/low quality inventory available still through reputable exchanges. These sites all reportedly have 5bn+ (Billion, not a typo!) Display impressions per month via the top SSPs in a well known DSP. Going to open source a allow list to help buyers avoid it.

@SimonJHarris You are right, I should not make a sweeping statement. I should have specified that is based only the sample I have access to.

@angusmclean That’s simply not true.

I think its time to allow 3x playback speed...

@aripap I'm still wondering if you are talking about people or software..

@angusmclean Funny how the tools influence what is built

One has to assume that all the most valuable consumers also shifted to Android, right?

@anguskeene @suzynicoletti @TwitterAU Nice work @anguskeene, you will do a great job.

Congratulations @suzynicoletti!!! I’m thrilled about the opportunity to manage the @TwitterAU office, be the primary lead for local advertisers and partners and continue our business momentum in Australia. Wishing you and your family all the best at this exciting time!

@aripap What did you choose? yup
